Introduction to the KROSS
Front and rear panels
Front panel
1. Keyboard
The KROSS-61 has a 61-note keyboard (velocity sensitive,
aftertouch not supported).
The KROSS-88 has a 88-note natural weighted hammer-
action (NH) keyboard (velocity sensitive, aftertouch not
supported).
When playing these keyboards, your playing strength
(velocity) can affect aspects of the sound such as the volume
and the EG speed, allowing you to vary the character of the
attack. (see pages 27 and 38)
You can also make keyboard tracking settings so that the
sound will change as you move across the keyboard, for
example by becoming brighter as you play higher notes. (see
page 37)
2. SW1, 2, pitch bend wheel, modulation
wheel
SW1, SW2 buttons
You can assign various functions to the SW1 and SW2
buttons for each program, combination, or song. You can use
these buttons to control program parameters via AMS
(Alternate Modulation), or effect parameters via Dmod
(Dynamic Modulation).
They can also transpose the keyboard by octaves, turn
portamento on/off, or lock the Pitch Bend position.
Each button can work as either a Toggle or Momentary
button. In Toggle mode, the assigned function is switched
between on and off each time the button is pressed. In
Momentary mode, the assigned function is active on only as
long as you hold down the button.
In Program mode, you can check the assignments of SW1
and SW2 on the PROG> MAIN page.
For details, please see “SW (Switch assignment)
information” on page 24.
When you write a Program or Combination, the on/off status
of the SW1 and SW2 buttons is saved.
Pitch bend wheel
Move this wheel forward or backward to control the pitch.
The center is the normal position, where there is no pitch
change. When you take your hand off of the pitch bend
wheel, it will return to the center position.
The amount of pitch change can be specified individually for
each program’s oscillator, combination timbre, and song
track.
You can also assign the pitch bend lock function to either the
SW1 or SW2 buttons and use it to lock the pitch at the
current position of the wheel so that the pitch will stay where
it is after the wheel is released.
